The Lessor declares, pursuant to the provisions of Article L. 125-5 of the French Environment Code, that the BUILDING that is the subject hereof is located in a zone covered by a technological risks prevention plan or by a foreseeable natural risks prevention plan, which appears in a schedule hereto.

 

The Lessor declares that, to its knowledge, the Building that is the subject of this lease has not suffered any loss that has given rise to the payment of compensation from insurance covering the risks of natural disasters (Art. L. 125-2 of the French Insurance Code) or technological disasters (Art. L. 128-2 of the French Insurance Code).

 

14.                               PROTECTION OF THE ENVIRONMENT

 

The Lessor declares that to its knowledge:

 

·                  the Building or the land on which it is built is not affected by any pollution that may result in particular from past or current exploitation or from the proximity of an installation subject to permission;

 



 

·                  there has never been dumped, buried or used in the land on which the demised building is built any waste or substances, such as for example, asbestos, PCBs (polychlorinated biphenyls or PCTs (polychlorinated terphenyls) directly or in apparatus or installations that may involve dangers or risks to health and the environment: the previous owner never informed the new owner that it dumped, buried or used in the land on which the demised building is built such waste or substances;

 

·                  the demised Building has never been used for the purposes of activities that are harmful to health and the environment or regulated in this context, and in particular it has not received any classified installation that is authorised or merely declared; the previous owner never informed the present owner that it carried on such harmful activities there.

 

15.                               LITIGATION

 

Any dispute that might arise relating to the existence, to the performance, or to the termination of these agreements shall fall within the exclusive jurisdiction of the Tribunal de Grande Instance in the judicial district in which the Building is located.
